IIIT Kanpur College review.

Placements: Honestly, when it comes to placements for this course, it’s pretty much non-existent. Hardly any companies show up for recruitment. Now, if you look at other courses, though, the situation is much brighter. They actually have solid placement opportunities. And here’s a little silver lining: students from this course can still throw their hats in the ring for placements in those other programs. On average, the packages can reach anywhere from 10 to 15 LPA.

Infrastructure: The college has pretty solid infrastructure and decent amenities, You know, the on-campus housing is actually quite comfy and well-managed. A lot of students choose to live there. As for the food service, it’s okay, meets the basic standards, nothing fancy.

Faculty: The faculty here is just fantastic. Every single member really knows their stuff when it comes to their field. They’re super accessible and are always ready to lend a hand to students, the way they teach works well, giving students a solid grasp of the material, the curriculum is modern, and the test questions strike a nice balance, not too easy, not too hard.

Overall, satisfaction with the campus is high.

Placements: I am here to give an idea about the placement of an M.Sc. Chemistry student: It's pathetic; only 2 companies came by, and there was no placement for any student. Apart from this, if you want to do a Ph.D. from abroad, then this is the best place for you. Internships are not provided by the college; we had to find internships on our own. The percentage of students who got internships from my batch is, sadly, 2%.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided in the room are very nice, and the workers are also very good; they are available to clean the room. The mess also functions very nicely; it is very clean, and pest control happens often. The registration process was easy, and affordability is also very nice. Inter-hostel visits are also allowed, which means boys can come to girls' hostel and vice versa. Sports and extracurricular activities are so good that all of these provide quite a good opportunity for the student to explore themselves.

Faculty: The Chemistry faculty at IIT Kanpur highly qualified faculty members, and they are stringent about the timing of quizzes and exams. Exams are given to you at the start of the course and held on that date and time. Exams aren't overly difficult to pass, but if you want to top, then you have to study a little bit harder. But as we know, academics don't really matter a lot; we just have to maintain a good GPA.

Other: Techkriti, Antaragni, and Udghosh are prominent festivals celebrated on campus.

First crack at IIT JAM in a good rank.

Placements: If you are expecting placements like B.Tech then this is not good. Mostly students are placed in some pharma companies or in different laboratories. Mostly students are doing higher studies in a foreign or in a top Indian institute. Students got internships from different universities as assistant professors.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good. Wi-Fi all over the campus with cctv security. Hostels are 2-seated or 3-seated and also AC rooms are available. Classrooms are spacious and digitally updated. Labs are spacious and have all the apparatus used in industry. The library is good. All types of books and magazines are available. There are different indoor and outdoor grounds for different sports.

Faculty: Student ratio with faculty is 76:56, i.e., 3:2 and all the faculty members are super qualified and their teaching methods are a bit old school meaning they focus more on books and research articles. An amazing part is IIT Kanpur I believe, is one of the IITs that conducted their exams timely and nicely with projects, theoretical, and laboratory chemistry.

For placements this is not good.

Placements: I am here giving a idea about the placement of M.Sc. Chemistry student. Its pathetic, only 2 companies came by and 0 placement of any student. Apart from this if you want to do a Ph.D. from abroad then this was the best place for you. Students were doing Ph.D. in different foreign universities or in IITS.

Infrastructure: Hostels were good and there were many facilities such as Wi-Fi 80+Mbps, LAN in each room 500+Mbps, Gym, TV room, Computer room and washing machines on each floor. Football, cricket, hockey grounds, Tennis, basketball courts, Olympic sized swimming pool and much more. Mess food was good. Wi-Fi all over the campus with CCTV security. Classrooms are digitally updated. The library is good all types of books and magazines are available.

Faculty: Student ratio with faculty is 76:56, i.e, 3:2. All the faculty members are super qualified and their teaching methods are a bit old school means they focus more on books and research articles. An amazing part is IIT Kanpur, I believe is one of the IITs that conducted their exams timely and nicely with projects, theoretical and laboratory chemistry.
